Why Thai women cut off their husbands' penises

An epidemic of penile amputations in Thailand led researchers to inquire into what was going on

Marc Abrahams, The Guardian

About once per decade, the medical profession takes a careful look back at Thailand's plethora of penile amputations. The first great reckoning appeared in a 1983 issue of the American Journal of Surgery. Surgical Management of an Epidemic of Penile Amputations in Siam, by Kasian Bhanganada and four fellow physicians at Siriraj Hospital in Bangkok, introduces the subject: "It became fashionable in the decade after 1970 for the humiliated Thai wife to wait until her [philandering] husband fell asleep so that she could quickly sever his penis with a kitchen knife. A traditional Thai home is elevated on pilings and the windows are open to allow for ventilation. The area under the house is the home of the family pigs, chickens, and ducks. Thus, it is quite usual that an amputated penis is tossed out of an open window, where it may be captured by a duck."

The report explains, for readers in other countries: "The Thai saying, 'I better get home or the ducks will have something to eat,' is therefore a common joke and immediately understood at all levels of society".

Because they're nuts?

You mean the wives, or the "amputees"?

Because they're nuts?

Because the "thinge" is useless?

Think about it though. A man's weenie is the most important thing to him. It is how he exerts his power (for some), and it is what gives him pleasure and as well, literally, the drive for living. For a woman to cut off a man's hot dog is in a sense worse than killing him. If he has been abusing the wife, sleeping around, or acting macho and stupid, then this is the ultimate punishment, and in a sense it solves all the woman's problems.

Out for a duck!

I wouldn't like to be the duck.

Boy oh boy, these Thais, they are something else. Why didn't women all around the world think of this? It's easy to see that Thais are slicker and smarter than anyone else to think of this technique. Wow! These Thais are so impressive and to think we can read all about it in the newspaper. And they even have a standing inside joke about it, that all "levels of society" readily understand. Boy oh boy these Thais are clever.

Penis envy.

Does wife not believe that husband will kill her if penis is removed and fed to the ducks? My ducks and pigs would not be full and would be plenty hungry for wife's remains. Believe you me.

I wouldn't tend to use those adjectives; devious and cockamamy would be more apt.

Why Thai women cut off their husbands' penises

After being subjected to marital abuse, it's the last straw.

Bangkok is the commercial sex capital of the world and Thailand leads the world in penis re-attachment surgery.

You know it makes sense.

Well Lorrena Bobbit bobbed John Bobbits knob off,

and they reattached it... and he became a porn star for a time.

I guess she never heard about the ducks under the house.

Makes me think I don't want free range ducks for dinner here...

Bad dream, harvest season, just wondering what it would be like, he asked for it, because it is was there

I suppose the moral of the story if you are going to sleep around and abuse the concept of family is maintain control of all sharp things in the house, have a metal detector installed after the bedroom door and as a matter of priority always make sure that your ducks, chickens and pigs have an overgenerous supply of food.

I think Thailand should lobby the IOC, to make this sport an Olympic one, Thai ladies would surely win Gold & Silver & Bronze ?

If that's a crime, are the trials held in the small claims courts?

You could of course also just not cheat your lady!

I cheated on my Thai wife Now I'm a lady boy

The vast majority of worldwide reports of penile replantation, to this day, are a result of what became a trendy form of retribution in a country in which fidelity is a strongly appreciated value.

Ha ha ha...

I'll never eat dig ducks at MK again.---

Because you're so silly?

A: Because they're completely irrational.

They regularly threaten it, supposedly in jest as a way to stop their men straying. There's some serious double standards and hypocrisy at work here.

Suppose it was common for us men to casually "threaten in jest" to cut off our partners tits if they strayed? There would be an outcry and there would likely be numerous penises severed "as payback" if it came to be.

Suppose men also actually followed through with this disgusting threat? Specialist surgeries would thrive all over the country with stupid names like "Thanks for the Mammaries", "Tit-for-Tat", etc. The health system would likely collapse under the strain.

If they were rational they could see their error. They really just don't get it. Do they really think such a threat will stop their men from straying, encourage trust or help keep a relationship together? It's more likely to make a rational man run for the hills, especially given the female knack for harbouring false suspicions.

My ex was forever suspicious but there was never any reason for it. No way was I going to bet my dick by staying in that relationship.

Have to admit,I did a double-take at that one as well,thought I'd misread it!

You mean the wives, or the "amputees"?

Perhaps when stated "they're" ... he did mean the "wives" are nuts, because the amputees are the victims not the nuts, unless of course he regards husbands that have affairs with other woman also as nuts.

If this is what was meant, and the writer is a female then that would be understandable, but if he is a fellow as anticipated, then he should take two aspirins, lay down in bed with a hot wet towel over his head in order to clear the cloud.

So a sane and rational person would amputate a man's gentleman vegetables,is that what you're saying?

I really think it could be you that needs to lie down and stay off that Lao Khao also!
